Know your obligations
Employer & worker responsibilities
Under Australian Workers' Compensation legislation, both employers and workers have legal obligations when a workplace injury occurs.BizPort ensures both parties are guided through every requirement.
Employer obligations
Under Workers' Compensation legislation
Report the injury to your Workers' Compensation insurer within the required statutory timeframe (typically 48 hours of being notified).
Appoint an accredited RTW Coordinator (mandatory for employers above the prescribed wage threshold in most states).
Develop a written RTW Plan in consultation with the worker and their treating practitioner within required timeframes.
Provide suitable duties where reasonably practicable, consistent with the worker's medical capacity and work restrictions.
Maintain employment of the injured worker for the prescribed period and ensure no adverse action is taken in relation to the injury.
Cooperate with the insurer, treating practitioners, and the RTW Coordinator throughout the recovery and claims process.
Worker obligations
Under Workers' Compensation legislation
Notify the employer of the injury as soon as practicable and provide a medical certificate from a treating practitioner if required.
Participate actively in the development of the RTW Plan and engage constructively with the RTW Coordinator and treating practitioners.
Undertake suitable duties offered by the employer that are within their medical capacity, unless their treating practitioner certifies otherwise.
Attend medical appointments and treatment sessions as directed by treating practitioners and required by the insurer.
Provide updates on their medical condition and recovery progress to the employer and insurer as required under the claims process.
Take reasonable steps to ensure their own recovery and cooperate with any rehabilitation or retraining programs arranged in support of their RTW.
Our support levels
Every BizPort module comes with a flexible support level.
From fully self-managed to completely done for you.Your choice.
We've all tried a new software program, been given the login, then left to work it out with no support. After a while, you don't use it at all. We won't do that to you.
What usually happens
You sign up,maybe on a free trial.
It's more complicated than the demo, and there's no one to show you how it works.
A couple of months later,nobody's logging in.
Good software, wasted, because nobody stuck around to help.
So for your first three months, we don't leave you to it.
We set up every module you've chosen.
We train your team on how to actually use it.
We stay close enough to catch mistakes before they become problems.
Why three months?It's roughly one full compliance cycle: long enough to see the system do its job, not just learn where the buttons are.
After that, it's your call.
